I'm having to do some interop with a proprietary - and erroneously
documented - Java SDK. There's a class C with a method described as
'translate(java.lang.String). Trying to call the method with a Clojure on
an object of class C I got a 'no matching method found' error.
So I used the following snippet from stack overflow to print out the entire
collection of methods on the object (useful enough to repeat here):
(ns ...
(:require [clojure.reflect :as r]
[clojure.pprint :refer [print-table]))
(print-table
(sort-by :name
(filter :exception-types (:members (r/reflect (type my-object))))))
What I discovered was that the translate method had a signature reported as
'translate(java.lang.String<>)', not a mere quirk of the reflection process
- there were plenty of other methods taking the usual java.lang.String
method as well.
Does anyone know how how to create a java.lang.String<> ? Ideally how to
convert a Clojure "some string" which is a java.lang.String to a
java.lang.String<>.
Also, although this is merely idle curiosity on my part, does anyone know
what a java.lang.String<> actually is? The <> suggests a generic, but
java.lang.String is not a container - although the <> is empty of course.
